Deacon Edmund Rice[edit]

Nice work on the Deacon Rice piece. Congrats. I did leave a question on the talk page concerning the haplogroup of his descendants. Regards, MarmadukePercy (talk) 00:46, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link. I'm sorry, but I still couldn't locate the haplogroups involved. (Fair disclosure: I'm descended from Robert Royce.) Regards, MarmadukePercy (talk) 02:32, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Go to the link. On the page look for the "Group 1" on Table 1 well down the page. These are the haplogroups of known Edmund descendants, plus the reconstruction of Edmund's presumed haplotype I happen to be #87949 in Group #1 (descendant of Thomas I). Robert Royce of New London CT descendants make up Group #3. That's what I know. The Historian of the Edmund Rice (1638) Association maintains the code key of individuals corresponding to individuals of the Association who have taken part in the study. Innapoy (talk) 02:56, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My point is essentially an editorial one. The name of the relevant haplogroup for Deacon Edmund (and his descendants) needs to be inserted into the wikipedia piece. If I can locate it on these various links, I will insert it myself.MarmadukePercy (talk) 03:04, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for George W. Rice[edit]

On 30 September 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article George W. Rice, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thank you[edit]

Hi Innapoy. Thank you for your valued contributions to Wikipedia. The many minor but essential edits you make help to keep this project up to date and free of errors. When you come across incomplete articles you can also help by adding the country in the lead section of articles that are specifically focused on the USA, UK, Australia, or any other country, and completing and/or updating the infoboxes with dates and places of birth and other details of individuals. Every little bit helps - keep up the good work, and happy holidays! --Kudpung (talk) 23:24, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I will just remind you of the polite request made above. Please remember that the Wikipedia is used as much outside the US as in it - perhaps more. If you are still not sure how to write biographies according to Wikipedua style, please don't hesitate to ask - we're here to help. Thank you.--Kudpung (talk) 03:27, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Permission for images[edit]

Hi. I noticed you have been adding {{PermissionOTRS}} tags to many of the images you have been uploading. First, as you are not an OTRS volunteer you should not be adding that template to anything ever. Second, you have been adding a ticket number which doesn't remotely relate to the images you have been uploading. Third, I searched the system and was unable to find any communications from lberman@rilin.state.ri.us.

Since we have no verifiable evidence that these images have been released under a free license I will be tagging them all as having no permission and they will be deleted in a week unless we receive verifiable permission within that time. If you would like a notification for each image I tag, please let me know.

We need you to follow the steps at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials in order for us to retain this content. Thank you for your cooperation. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:01, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you do tag the materials for deletion, Please notify the Rhode Island General Assembly Press Secretary Larry Berman at lberman@rilin.state.ri.us I've contacted him of the problem and want to get this resolved right away. Innapoy (talk) 16:12, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can see a list of those images I have located with insufficient permission here. Please note that in addition to the Rhode Island General Assembly pictures it also includes the pictures and signatures from private collections of both Bruce Sundlun and Lincoln Almond. As you have contacted them I will keep an eye out for incoming permissions emails. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:05, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Sundlun and Almond Signatures have been a source of aggravation for a while. I Know that both have emailed. I watched as Sundlun sent his and Governor Almond's son Lincoln D. Almond sent on his father's behalf. What is the best email address for Larry Berman to Send a blanket permission on the Statehouse images? We really consider these as public images as they were created using public funds.Innapoy (talk) 17:11, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In all cases the email should be sent to permissions-enwikimedia.org. The only message which appears to exist in our system regarding the Almond images is one from September of this year referring to an earlier message, but no prior email was located. We do have the original email regarding the Sundlun images but it was not precise enough for us to use it and no reply was received to our request for clarification. I understand the position regarding public funds, but unlike the federal government states largely retain the ability to hold copyrights unless barred by state constitution or law and further http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/ explicitly asserts "© 2007 State of Rhode Island General Assembly. All Rights Reserved." so we do need explicit permission for whatever subset of that content is being released. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:46, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Fine enough. I did email Larry Berman about all The General Assembly Photos. So let's see what he does. As for Sundlun and Almond, I don't know what to do about them as I've repeatedly tried to get them to email & they've said they have. I know that Sundlun's email is sundlun@uri.edu and that's the one I witnessed personally being sent out the photo was taken by his wife. If there is nothing from Magistrate Judge Lincoln D. Almond then I don't know. One thing IS for certain, is that both the Sundlun and Almond signatures are from documents that I personally own. Innapoy (talk) 18:15, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected on one account: I've been looking through the old deleted versions of the files for more information and one did lead me to the original ticket for Almond, but it too was insufficient with no reply to a request for clarification. I'll send emails again for both of those tickets and see if we get a response. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:23, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Good idea on the follow-up emails to Sundlun & Almond. I'll phone Sundlun later to ask him to respond to your query. It'll take him a few days as he has an assistant reading emails. Innapoy (talk) 18:29, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As it turns out I found a copy of one the Berman emails: November 10, 2010 To whom it may concern: Regarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PeterKilmartin.jpg, on behalf of the Rhode Island General Assembly, you have permission to use the legislative photo of Representative Peter Kilmartin, our state’s Attorney general-elect. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Larry Berman Communications Director Rhode Island House of Representatives.Innapoy (talk) 18:49, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid we need it to be explicitly released into the public domain or under a free license. A general "permission to use" isn't enough as it could mean permission to use on Wikipedia, and part of our mission is to create a free encyclopedia that can be reused elsewhere. Without an explicit release (we have a template at WP:CONSENT to prevent ambiguity) images can only be used under our non-free content guidelines, which (among other things) generally rules out any image of a living person. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I'll send a copy of the template to Larry Berman Innapoy (talk) 19:13, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update: We've now received usable permission for File:Bruce Sundlun.jpg and File:Sundlun-signature.jpg and those image pages have been updated accordingly. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:22, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's good. I spoke with Sundlun's assistant this morning & they jumped on it. I also went over to Almond's house this afternoon afternoon to hand carry a copy of the template. He says that he'll be seeing his son Saturday. I've heard nothing from the Statehouse yet, but I'll phone tomorrow. Innapoy (talk) 04:46, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Messed up "Ilocos Norte" page[edit]

Hi Innapoy, did you notice that the page is quite messed up? Apparently this was due to the inserted photos (who did this i don't know). I just did some cleaning but it still needs more. Your thoughts? Onemoremile (talk) 16:31, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edward L. Kessel[edit]

Just wanted to let you know that I've nominated this article for DYK. You may want to respond to the concerns raised by Abductive in the "Edward L. Kessel" section of T:TDYK. Nyttend (talk) 01:37, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay Thanks. I'll deal with the Abductive concerns. Kessel was notable on at least three of the criteria listed.Innapoy (talk) 01:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Edward L. Kessel[edit]

On 24 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Edward L. Kessel, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Edward L. Kessel assembled the world's most comprehensive collection of Platypezidae flat-footed flies?

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Better source request for File:JHMcGrath.jpg[edit]

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

File:JHMcGrath.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 12:13, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2019 US Banknote Contest[edit]

	US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
